Unlocking & Backup Drm keys
Quick tutorial for unlocking & relocking the bootloader of the Xperia E3
this is the official way to unlock bootloader
WARNING!
MAKE TA BACKUP BEFORE UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER!
if you want to backup the TA or keep yor DRM keys,first root the device and then check this out
Warning!
This procedure will wipe the /data partition of your phone, so you will loose all your stored data, settings. SDCARD will BE WIPED!!!
DRM keys WILL be lost forever (If you dont have backup )
older Xperia devices sometimes got issues after unlock of bootloader (BRICK after FOTA update) - you have been warned
why to unlock bootloader?
u can flash custom ROMs/Kernels
u dont need to worry if the new firmware can be rooted or not as with unlocked bootloader u can always ROOT ur device
Sony gives sneak-peaks/preview builds of latest OS which requires unlocked bootloaders, as they did with Xperia 2011/2012 line, so who knows may be Sony may give early builds of next android OS
Most of this is taken from lollylost100's And DoomLoRD for their tutorial threads
[ before we begin unlocking bootloader ]
get the IMEI code for ur device: type *#06# in phone dialer to find it out, note only the digits (no dashes)
download the fastboot package
IMPORTANT: if you are using Windows 8 you will need to enable few things to allow driver installation
download the latest FlashTool Xperia Driver Pack and install fastboot drivers (common) & adb drivers for this device from the list!
make sure u have a windows PC with USB cable to connect the phone
power down ur phone and keeping the Volume Up button pressed connect the USB cable to PC this will trigger FASTBOOT mode and windows will start driver installation, which should be automatically done
once drivers are installed just disconnect cable and power on device
[ how to unlock ] (official way)
Go to: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and read everything!
At the bottom click 'Start Unlocking the Bootloader'
after u have verified that u can unlock bootloader, scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Continue"
you will get numerous prompts, read all info and if u agree click on "Accept"/"OK"/"Proceed"
finally u will get a "Create Unlock request" page, enter your IMEI (sometimes the last digit needs to be removed for this to work), name and email address
You should now receive your unique unlock key via EMAIL, SAVE THIS KEY SAFELY
Extract fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.rar and open fastboot folder
Hold SHIFT and right click on the background of the folder
Select 'Open command window here'
Connect your phone in fastboot mode (turn phone off, hold Volume UP button and plug in USB Cable) [make sure drivers are installed as explained above)
In the cmd windows type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
If a value is returned (it will return 0.5), it means the phone is correctly connected
Type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY and replace KEY with the key which u received earlier.
You're device should now be bootloader unlocked
Re-locking Click here

Re-locking & Restore Drm Keys Device
With the latest release of Flashtool it is now possible to relock bootloader.
Download the latest flashtool from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Important
DO NOT USE ANY FTF TO RELOCK BOOTLOADER! THOSE OLD FTFs DO NOT WORK FOR THE 2013 DEVICES!!!
before u relock bootloader u have to be on pure stock kernel (flash only the kernel.sin using flashtool), else the device WILL NOT BOOT after relock
Steps:
now start Flashtool and click on BLU button
u will be asked to connect device in flashmode
once u connect the device u will get a prompt to "Relock"
click on it and when prompted disconnect the device
Want to UNLOCK again after relocking? read this!
Using TA-backup/restore You can restore the Drm Keys... but make sure you can only restore the Drm key with Stock Kernel ( Else the device dont boot)
Best regards,
venkat kamesh

Complete Root / with simple guide steps
Ever one are afraid to use the mods just because of unlocking
but there are still many ways to save your DRM keys
Here @vinay wrote what all needed to be done for the root and recovery
Before doing the above Process make sure you have to follow post #1
after that Click here
then after flashing the supersu
follow this post click here
and relock your device from this post click here
and Restore your TA- (DRM keys)
have fun

Recoveries
Guys If you need additional recoveries
I meant
if you need to get back to stock kernel and you would like to have the recoveries
then try this
Instructions
Make sure you are running one of these kernels Click here by @vinay
Download the recoveries Click here
Copy to Sdcard
Flash the recovery zip from the recovery
Now get back to flashboot mode
Then Falsh only kernel from the ftf (using Flastool) of your desired model
Now the NDR utils will support the deive
When you get back to your stock kernel you can Restore Drm Keys (if you have done backup) then everything works great
And Even you will be having working recoveries with locked bootloader
Have fun with recoveries
thanks @[NUT] for the valuable / awesome script/work
thanks @vinay for your custom kernel

♠ Then, start your flash tool
♠ Press the flash button, Select flash mode
♠ Select the firmware & Leave all the settings as it is i.e. wipe data and cache selected, Select No final verification[I selected it, i don't know whats the use of it can anybody tell me ?? ] [After searching google i got this answer : It will check whether any error occurred during flashing, i had disabled it when flashing stock rom on my phone. so idont know what happens when we keep it unchecked.]
♠ The flash tool will setup files and start flashing, Don't touch your phone or press any button.
♠ Hurray you have successfully recovered your phone back to stock state. :highfive: :fingers-crossed:

flash stock rom using flashtool

I had the same problem.
After unlocking the bl (official way) I had a bootloop. I flashed the. 31 FTf from this forum. I was still having the bootloop.
After that, I relocked the bootloader with Flashtool. This helped me. The phone booted without the loop.
After unlocking the bl again (with Flashtool) everything was fine and I flashed vengeance kernel.

stuck in boot loop after unlocking bootloader
Hi All,
I tried unlocking the boot loader with the officially mentioned fastboot method and have ended up in a bootloop while starting the phone.
As mentioned in this thread, I am trying to flash the stock ROM C2105_15.0.A.1.31_CE.ftf onto my phone. However, I am getting an error message "No available services matched the connected device" on the EMMA tool. I tried the following:
1. Tried putting the file C2105_15.0.A.1.31_CE.ftf in C:\Program Files\Sony Mobile\Emma\firmwares folder, but EMMA doesn't recognise this.
2. Tried putting the file in C:\Flashtool\firmwares, still EMMA doesn't recognise this and shows "No available services matched the connected device".
I have attached the screenshot of the error message herewith.
Please let me know how I can resolve this issue.
Thanks.

A day before I made a tutorial on how to install Android Lollipop 5.0 on Motorola Moto G XT1033. With that installing now many of have asked me How to root their device as they have already Unlocked the Bootloader & wanna have root access on their device as they have already lost their warrant and nothing to loose.
No in today's tutorial I will show you how to root your Moto G in simple steps.
Prerequisites:
NOTE: THIS TUTORIAL IS FOR PEOPLE WITH UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER ONLY
1) Ensure your battery is charged to above 60% this will avoid a dead battery from corrupting the process.
2) XT1033 Lollipop Root Kit by ChainFire : DOWNLOAD
3) Minimal ADB & Fastboot Drivers : DOWNLOAD
4) A Little bit of time.
Booting Your Device to Fastboot mode
If you know how to get into fastboot mode then you can skip this part of tutorial & head directly to the next step.
1) Turn of your mobile phone
2) Now hold ' Volume Down + Power ' for 3 to 4seconds which will boot into the bootloader.
Voila! you've just booted into fastboot mode.
Checking whether XT1033 is detected in fastboot mode
Will bringing up the bootloader on your device its time for us to check whether your device is detected by the computer in fastboot mode. Now for following this step you must download the Minimal ADB & Fastboot Drivers from the link provided in the Prerequisites section & install it with default location on your computer
1) Connect your device & Open the ' Minimal ADB & Fastboot ' from the new shortcut thats made on the desktop, If you are not able to find it then navigate to C:\Program Files (or) Program Files(x86) \Minimal ADB and Fastboot\ and open " py_cmd.exe "
2) Now type the below code
fastboot devices
If it results something that is familiar to the below image then you're good to proceed if not the make sure you followed all the steps correctly, if you still doesnt get it correct then leave a comment I'll be very happy to help you.

Rooting Moto G XT1033
Proceed with this step only if everything stated in the above steps has come out correctly.
1) Unzip the ' CF-Auto-Root-xxx-xxx-xxx.zip ' file to a separate folder on your computer.
2) Run the " root-windows.bat " file & press the space bar.
3) Wait for a while for the process to finish & your device will reboot.
Voila! you have successfully rooted your device. Check for " Super SU " app in your app drawer.
Proof:
Please leave a comment below & share the post If you really wanna thank me

i've rooted with the CM12 method and it works like charm. so i think this complicated process isn't needed.

Thanks for your guide
I don't think CF-Auto-Root is required now.. Though we can get the job done
To summarize the rooting process
Here is the 3 easy steps
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Install custom recovery
3. Install SuperSU

Can you provide the link of custom recovery.?

I wonder, after flashing a custom recovery.. how to get back the stock (perhaps lollipop recovery) for the future OTA updates? Can we flash the 4.4.4 recovery over it?

Just after flashing stock BR 4.4.4 then 5.0 OTA update to my XT1032 Moto G (bought in UK)
Followed this guide and it's rooted
thanks.

by the way did you by any chance relock the bootloader ?

[UPDATED][GUIDE] UNLOCK/RELOCK BOOTLOADER UNOFFICIALLY FOR ZenFone 3

Make sure you’ve backed up all of your IMPORTANT DATA before unlocking/relocking bootloader because this process WILL DELETE ALL OF YOUR IMPORTANT DATA !
I am not responsible for bricked devices and dead SD cards. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
This process will not void the device warranty & you will get OTAs
First and foremost, please install ZenFone 3 Drivers via Device Manager (Download drivers on ASUS Support Website)
1) Download the Factory RAW ROM here:
ZE520KL:
ZE552KL:
2) Download ASUS Flash Tool here:
3) Flash the firmware via ASUS Flash Tool by entering FASTBOOT MODE (Power Button + Volume Up) & DO NOT WIPE DATA!
Note: This firmware can only boot into FASTBOOT Mode. So, don’t panic
Note: If you flash RAW firmware via ASUS Flash Tool and received an error (FRP request error), just IGNORE the error.
4) Download Bootloader Kit for ZenFone 3 here:

To remove it, simply relock the bootloader.

Ok so this time it worked ! Thanks @ZenFone_3
Now I'm on the latest oreo update (1801) with bootloader unlocked.
But no twrp yet. For some reason the flashing process of the twrp img finishes, but it is still the stock recovery that boots. I tried multiple times and downloaded the twrp img again but no luck. I'll try to figure that out.

If I do this unlocking method I'm gona keep my warranty if I have any issue and need to relock to send to the Asus? Or It can be detected?

Read my main post properly. Yes, you need to flash Factory RAW to relock bootloader. After relocking, flash Oreo RAW to return back to stock ROM.

[GUIDE]Bootloader Unlock Realme C12

After 6 months from launch date, we finally got bootloader unlock permission on March 2nd 2020 for Realme C12 initially based on Realme UI 1.0. Later Realme gave permission for UI 2.0 too.
Before doing anything to device, keep a copy of Stock ROM from here in your PC or SD Card.
Unlocking bootloader will trip safetynet. If you want to use bank apps or some apps that use SafetyNet, then you have to pass SafetyNet. To pass it we have to use a Magisk module called 'Universal SafetyNet fix' Or use a custom rom or GSI that uses it if you dont want Magisk.
Also locking bootloader seems to lead 'Red State' in many devices. This can only be solved by going to Service Center. So be prepared for it. To get rid of it flash stock rom once even if you didn't done any modifications.
Prerequisites:-- A PC
- USB Cable(We can use charger cable)
- Platform-tools
- Patience
Step 0 - Great! You're ready to go. Make sure to backup your phone's data before continuing on with this tutorial, as unlocking will make it factory reset (wipe)!
Step 1 - Download and Open In Depth Tool from below
For UI 1.0 https://download.c.realme.com/flash/Unlock_tool/DeepTest_realmeC12.apk
For UI 2.0 https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1526491339024314368

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 2 - Click “Start applying”.
Step 3 - Please read the disclaimer in detail, select the checkbox, and submit your application
Step 4 - The Application Will be checked by realme Servers..(Wait 10 mins)
Step 5 - Go back. Remove app from Recent apps. Open the app and click on Query verification status which is at top right
Step 6 - You can now click “Start the in-depth test” and the device will reboot to fastboot mode automatically. The following string will display on the screen: fast boot_unlock_verify ok
Step 7 - Now Download and install the fastboot tool on your PC and Connect the device to PC using USB cable and ready to unlock it.
Step 8 - Now you are in Fastboot Mode. Type this command
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
in command prompt of PC and Press enter.
Step 9 - On your phone press the Volume Down key to select "UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER” (or press the Volume Up key if you have changed your mind to select "DO NOT UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER”).
Step 10 - Now type
Code:
fastboot reboot
. Your phone will reboot and all user data on the phone will be erased - I recommend you perform a data backup prior to applying.
And there you go! Your phone will reboot and you can set it all up again. with the ability to root and you can also install GSIs/custom ROMs/recovery!
After unlocking, flash stock rom once from stock recovery to fix some 'Red state' issue and fastboot errors that may lead to GSI booting issues. See this for flashing stock rom. With this you will also get a idea of flashing stock rom.
Q: Will unlocking my bootloader void my warranty?
A: No, it will not. Unless you brick your device.
Q: I tried unlocking my bootloader but, PC doesn't detect my phone, even though it's in fastboot mode and connected. Help?
A: Here are some things you can try:
- Try another USB port.- Try another USB cable.- Download and install exe for 64-bit and 32-bit- Restart PC- Connect device to PC- Go to Device Manager- Double Click on Unidentified Realme C12(Device with exclamation mark)- Click on Update Driver- Select Browser my computer- Select Let me pick- Select Android Device- Click on NextEnjoy!
Q: I am getting carrier-customized phone?
A: See this

Relock your bootloader
Locking bootloader without flashing stock rom again may lead to 'Red State'(can only be fixed by flashing stock rom with PC). So before locking bootloader, flash stock rom in stock recovery and boot to stock rom once.
Tutorial:
Step 0 - Flash stock ROM in stock recovery.(Don't skip this step even if you haven't done any modification)
Step 1 - Download the unlock tool again to apply to exit the in-depth test.
Step 2 - Click “Apply to exit in-depth test”. You should manual operation enter the Fastboot mode(Press both the Volume down button and the Power button when power is off).
Step 3 - In the Fastboot mode, use the engineering command below on your PC to re-lock the bootloader.
- Enter the command: fastboot flashing lockStep 4 - Press the Volume Down button to select the “Lock bootloader” option (or press the Volume Up button to select “Do not lock bootloader" and keep it unlocked).
Step 5 - Then enter command fastboot reboot. The phone will reboot. All user data on the phone will be erased - we recommend you perform a data backup prior to applying.
Thanks

I have two questions
1. I have a Realme c12 device (Realme UI 1.0), it's device model is RMX2189 but the link you provided has only RMX2185 version. Can I flash that stock rom in my phone?
2. I am from Bangladesh, which region version should I flash? (Egypt, Combodia, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Vietnam)

For first question, you can install RMX2185 version. Since C11, C12 and C15 use RMX2185 for stock rom ozips.
For second question, I am not sure what to do with your region.

Thanks a lot. I am facing some problems while trying to unlock bootloader. (Forgive me, I am a noob )
I have successfully installed platform-tools, granted usb debugging permission and rebooted my phone to fastboot mode from depth tool. It's showing "fast boot_unlock_verify ok".
Now if I enter the command "fastboot flashing unlock" in command prompt window, it's showing this message: "waiting for device" and nothing is happening afterwards... Am I missing any drivers? (My cable is ok)

@Shawmik
Yeah you are doing right.
But seems like drivers are not installed.

How To Guide Lock+Unlock Bootloader - Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021 [TB-J716F]

How To Lock and Unlock Bootloader - Xioaxin Pad Pro 2021 - TB-J716F
Since I found out that the Tablet supports Project Treble I'm trying to get a GSI-ROM running on it.
Currently with many trial and error I got LiR-ROM to boot.
The first step is to unlock the Bootloader so I thought I will share the process here.
Your data will be deleted while unlocking, try it at your own risk.
Unlock Bootloader manually
Requirement: PC with ADB Fastboot
1. Go to Settings -> System -> About Phone, tab on it until developer settings are enabled.
2. Go to Developer Settings and enable "USB Debugging" and "OEM Unlocking".
3. Open Console and enter "adb devices". Allow USB-Debugging if tablets asks.
4. Enter command "adb reboot bootloader".
5. Write down the serial number shown on the bootloader screen
You can either get the unlock image via this link "http://cdn.zui.lenovomm.com/developer/tabletboot/[your sn number]/sn.img" or via the webseite
5. Go to the ZUI Unlock Website and request the unlock image

6. You should get a mail where you can download a file called "sn.img".
7. Flash the image with fastboot "fastboot flash unlock sn.img"
8. Enter command "fastboot oem unlock-go", bootloader will unlock now.
9. Restart with "fastboot reboot".
Done, your bootloader should be unlocked now.
Lock and Unlock Bootloader with Batchscript
I recently found a batch script for lenovo devices in an chinese forum and translated it.
It's easy and convenient to use. For unlocking you still need the sn.img from the ZUI Unlock Website.
Download BatchScript

Thanks a lot for your contribution! Mine was unlocked when I received it but it's good to see some guides here.

What is the opposite process, to close the bootloader? Does Widevine L1 recover after closing the bootloader? In the case of doing so, can the bootloader be opened again?

@sakun-ice Sorry, I can't tell you that, sind I haven't tried it now. But I think it should be possible.
Currently I'm trying to get a Custom ROM running, if it doesn't work, I will try to install Stock ROM and lock bootloader again. If it happens, I will post it here.

Helloi received one unlocked with a globaoe fw without ota's and i flashed the cn one and took the boot.ipg and patched it with pagisk for root and when flashing it via fastboot the device reboots to fastboot everytipe 1nd had to reflash the fw via edl , i did flashed vbmeta img with the known command o disable verification but no success same thing again. Can anyone plz tell me how to root that crap , it was intended to root use only and took over xiaomi pad pro just because the xiaomi needs 7 days of waiting before unlocking , plz help guys .thx so much i can buy a couple beers for the helper

I'm able to flash back to China stock rom but i can't lock the bootloader.
i have placed the sn.img in both the batchscript folder and platform tools
Tried the batch script :
"

If prompt says "OKAY", locking was successfull.
Use the volume keys to select "LOCK BOOTLOADER", press power key to confirm.
Done!

Sending 'lock' (5 KB) OKAY [ 0.000s]
Writing 'lock' FAILED (remote: 'No such file or directory')
fastboot: error: Command failed
"

@zeroflame15 Did install the driver correctly? For locking you don't need the sn.img, only for unlocking. And did you use the LockBootloader Script?

hmm..i'm not sure if i install the driver correctly. what should be shown in device manager? i did follow PHRS guide and installed the ADB driver but there is this !Android under Other Devices.
Any other driver that i need to install?
And should i be in bootloader mode or fastboot mode to run the command? I run the command at fastboot moder i will get the error above. If i run at bootloader mode will stuckedd at <waiting for device>

@zeroflame15 You have to be in bootloader mode. <waiting for device> is propably the driver.

It can be a bit tricky to get the commands working because it's not always clear if you need to be in fastboot or bootloader.
This worked for me:
Reboot to bootloader by entering "adb reboot bootloader"
After that try "fastboot flashing lock"

Sort of yes.
Initially after flash to stock china rom, i was able to OTA. But subsequent check for updates will get error saying devices is rooted.
After locked bootloader, tried OTA again and indeed there is another new updates.
Saw some chinese video for those who wanted the rooted status and also to perform OTA updates, they are using magdisk to hide the root.

its seems most difficult to lock/unlock bootloader that flash rom.....
but you need ZUI Unlock Website also for lock? cause seems need only for unlock...right?

No need for lock. Like what others have mentioned. Just a single line command and it works as long you got the right drivers installed.
